The band released their debut album "D-D-Don't Stop the Beat" in 2003. The first single, "Move Your Feet", was one of the most played songs on Danish radio and eventually climbed the charts in over thirteen countries, including Australia, France, the UK and Denmark. The single is also available on the soundtrack of the popular American television show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Additionally, it has also been included in the US version of the hit dance game DDR Extreme for the Playstation 2. It is often associated with its pixelated music video, created by the art collective Shynola, which is seen in the VH1 commercial for "I Love the 90's: Part Deux" and in the background of its Dance Dance Revolution: DDR Extreme dance.
The follow up single, "Rhythm Bandits", made the singles charts in the UK and Australia, and was included in the soundtrack of the game FIFA 2004.
D-D-Don't Stop the Beat was included in several publications' "Best Albums of 2003" lists, including Rolling Stone, NME, Entertainment Weekly and Blender. The Sunday Chronicle in San Francisco rated "Move Your Feet" as the single of the year, calling it "the best song ever".
The single "Shake Your Coconuts" is available on the Looney Tunes: Back In Action soundtrack, and is used as the menu music in the game Worms 3D by Team17 Software.
The CD features the video to "Move Your Feet" and a "Making Of" as enhanced content. In the "Making Of," Junior (Jesper Mortensen) was asked how many copies he thought the album would sell and he replied, "three to four hundred".
The song "White Trash" from this album was used in the very popular advertisement for Music Magazine TV show Popworld in the UK. The advert featured the two presenters of the show doing a synchronized dance routine to the song whilst wearing identical outfits.
Junior Senior continued producing feel-good dance-pop by releasing their sophomore album "Hey Hey My My Yo Yo" in August 2005, where it shot to #2 on the charts in Japan. Fans of the 80s band "The B-52's" will recognize Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson singing on the track "Take My Time".
In 2007 they subsequently released an EP entitled "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye" with eight new tracks, in Denmark. There was a US-only release of "Hey Hey My My Yo Yo" on August 14, 2007 that had this bonus EP included, adding these tracks. The duo split to pursue solo projects in 2008.
Jesper has now formed a new band, Make Out, and Jeppe is pursuing a solo project. Jesper also has a new band I Scream Ice Cream

The lyrics of Junior Senior's song Good Girl Bad Boy tell the story of a boy and a girl dancing slowly and getting closer to each other, with the boy feeling out of breath and nervous as he gets closer to the girl. The boy sees himself as a bad boy, and the girl used to be a good girl before she met him. He wants to kiss her like a bad boy should, but is worried about what her dad will think. Despite this, they continue to dance and work up a sweat, with the boy looking for the girl's heartbeat and wanting to be with her.
The lyrics paint a picture of a classic trope in pop culture: the good girl falling for the bad boy. The boy is seen as reckless and rebellious, with long hair that the girl's mother disapproves of. The tension between the two is palpable as they dance and get closer, with the boy feeling like he needs to catch his breath.
Overall, the lyrics are an upbeat and playful exploration of the dynamic between a good girl and a bad boy, with catchy rhythms and a memorable chorus.
Line by Line Meaning
I've got to, got to, got to catch my breath
I need to take a moment to rest and breathe
Baby, baby, baby, whoo it's true
I'm really into you, baby
I wanna, wanna dance with you woohoo
I want to dance with you, and have fun doing it
We're dancing, dancing, dancing slow, too close
We're dancing close to each other, and it's a little intimate
I'd kiss you if I could like a bad boy should
I want to kiss you, but I know it's not what a 'good boy' would do
We're getting closer and closer
Our physical proximity is increasing
And warmer and warmer
We're becoming more emotionally and physically intimate
My heart is racing and pacing
I'm feeling really excited and nervous
Your dad is gonna kill me
Your father won't be happy with me for being a 'bad boy'
Good girl
You're seen as a well-behaved, 'good' girl
I'm a such a bad boy
I'm seen as a 'bad boy', someone who doesn't follow the rules
You used to be a good girl
You used to be well-behaved and follow the rules
But then you met a bad boy
But after meeting me, you're starting to break the rules and be more rebellious
Pumping, pumping, pumping up each other
We're encouraging and energizing each other
We are working, working, working off a sweat
We're dancing and moving around a lot, getting exercise and working up a sweat
I'm looking, looking, looking for your heartbeat
I'm trying to feel your heart beat
Oooh just understand I wanna be your man
I want to be with you, and have a romantic relationship
Your mom says I'm a bad boy
Your mother also sees me as a 'bad boy'
You're father's little good girl
You're seen as a well-behaved daughter by your father
Because of my long hair
One reason why your parents don't approve of me is because of my appearance
Yeah, you used to be a good girl
You used to follow the rules and be well-behaved
But then you met a bad boy
But after meeting me, you're starting to rebel and break the rules
Got to catch my breath
I need to take a moment to rest and breathe
